Can we get a limit on transportory stones?

The big difference between Exiled Lands and Siptah was that you could easily get most of the stuff you needed on a day to day basis everywhere. There were still some resources that you could only get at certain points or in certain regions, but that was okay, because it was a deliberate, careful design decision.

You want brimstone? You want crystal? You want gold, silver, black ice? You don’t have to ride across the map to have them.

I agree on this, Siptah does offer a more spread out of the more rare resources than Exiled Lands does, but in my opinion most of the resources you mention can be found in several places on EL too, maybe not as much spread out like Siptah.

Exiled Lands need fast travel. Conan Exiles is already pretty grindy. Due to the availability and distribution of resources, removing fast travel would push Exiled Lands from “tolerably grindy” into “holy crap, why am I inflicting this suffering on myself”

Personally I do not agree, but I respect your opinion, I think subjects like these will always be very subjective

That said, I’ve never really felt like Conan exiles was a huge grind, maybe because I have played games like mmo, rpg and other survival games that feels way more grindy.

If we take a little look on how the game has progressed since full release then they have actually made the grind less over time…
We can now pickup almost anything, harvest rates have been increased, we have gotten better tools, we can carry more stuff than ever, some benches have generally been made cheaper and also faster to produce some of the high tier stuff, we have gotten more options to harvest(Sorcery spell), fast travel, transport of resources back to base(Sorcery spell again)…

I mean the game seems to become more and more fast paced to a point where I can start a fresh character on a server and within days or a few weeks, I start looking around for things that I haven’t done, and that is where I start getting bored and slowly play less before I just let the game sit waiting for the next big thing in the game.
And yes this is quite normal, but in CE it happens way faster than in many other similar games, well at least for me, but I still can’t help but feel that we as players fall into the trap where we just want things done as fast as possible, we kinda forget that games is also an experience and immersion often is connected to some sort of natural grind, travel and exploring the world and bring rare items back home that you don’t have in your backyard, but instead it is starting to feel like a very small world and we kinda forget what is between the teleportation points - A good example is some time ago, me and a few friends decided to go do some dungeons, I had packed my horse and told them I was ready and asked where do we meet up and ride out from, they just said can’t we just teleport to the nearest obelisk and then use a nearby map room to get to the next… So much for a fun exploration with friends

In the early days of pre-release they had a lager variety of server types. I never understood why they reduced the number.

However, I really wouldn’t want to see a hard limit on these. Rather, make the LOC tainted debuff from them depend on the number of nodes in the network. The more nodes, the higher the debuff and/or the longer it lasts.

People would just grief a server by building too many of them. Different cause but the same problem. Too many TP pads.

@CodeMage

Or, as others suggested, don’t put any in-game limit on them and let server moderation take care of it. Of course, there are problems with server moderation in general that need to be addressed eventually, but that’s a completely different topic.

I’ll be a server Mod. What’s it pay?
